It was a hot night and we stayed in the seafarers room - this is really not the room to be in - there is a noisy cooling system cooling the beer cellar outside the room. This is a significant issue, but add on the fact that the only way of getting any circulation in this very small room is to open the stable door top or a tiny window next to the bed and you have very difficult conditions for a nights sleep. The bed is not the biggest and is shoehorned into the room with little space for suitcases or clothes. I think the other rooms are better but this one should not be the price it is. The pub however is fine and the service is good. The meals are OK if a little pricey with good fish and chips. Breakfast was also good with a good selection and a freshly cooked English on offer. It is also in a great location to walk down to the sea or wander into the village.

We stayed for 1 night and then 4 nights shortly after, while visiting the Aldeburgh Festival. The pub is a very old one, with lots of character to the building, but of course that means the doors and corridors can be quite snug in places. The first night we were in Seafarers room, which is very small with nowhere to put clothes - avoid that one. The rest of the stay was in Loch Long, which was much better. Overall, the décor was a bit tired, and the servicing of the rooms a little patchy (they are used to one night stays, so 4 nights was unusual for them). Wifi was OK on speed, but rather flaky on connections. At the back, they have a large patio area covered by a big awning and a decent garden area - an excellent place to meet friends and relax. Breakfasts were substantial, but not sophisticated cooking. We only dined in on one night. Two of their better dishes were sold out, which was unfortunate. What we had was average pub food, but one dish was definitely weak. The staff were, without exception, extremity friendly and helpful - a pleasure to behold. Overall, a decent place to stay for our purposes, but with its flaws, albeit minor

Two of us had the double beef burgers which were very thin and over cooked and burnt on the edges. I was expecting fuller burgers and cooked to perfection at a price of £18 95.! The staff were very pleasant and friendly. It was a nice evening out except for thr burgers.

A PUB OF 2 HALVES (not as advertised) Lovely old pub, chosen as a 75th birthday stay after river cruise.. no broadside on tap, broadside bottles were out of date … (broadside on pump is birthday boy’s favourite) ..“landlady” rather abrupt.. no meals being served, kitchen closed … that said, room was fab, spacious and clean .. bed and bedding really nice… 5 🌟 given for sleep and a wonderful breakfast & breakfast gentleman was a star & very courteous.

Lovely cosy pub. Excellent pub with super comfy beds and great food. Breakfast was beautifully cooked with lovely locally smoked kippers. Evening meal was also superb. Staff all very accommodating and very friendly. Excellent Adnams ale. Don't pay to park opposite as you will be given a resident voucher to park for free by the landlord. Only minor downside was that there was a bath rather than a shower. I would definitely stay there again.
